I thought Parliament/Funkadelic was on it for a while...

It's not that nobody here likes bands from those genres it's just that people wouldn't put them in their top 5 favorite.

/\ Right, thats my concern. We seem to be a streamlined music message board.

Am I not coming across correctly?

I like 5-6 Black Sabbath songs. Cool.

Johnny Cash was too.

Whats sad is that i nominated him...

Just because the forum's called 'Musicbanter', which is a pretty all-encompassing name in terms of music, that doesn't mean that all types of music have to be given an equal amount of attention. Sure, some people might truly like listening to a wide variety of music with no real bias towards a certain genre but the reality of most Musicbanter users is that they do tend to listen to a lot more guitar band music and spend most of their time discussing those styles of music.

We ARE a streamlined message board and I think that's quite a good thing. It gives the site some kind of direction and means that people are having arguments about topics which most of them know at least a bit about.

Also, it could mean there's the opportunity to 'educate' people about other very different types of music, although so far I don't think this has happened very much.

On the topic, I'd like everyone to seriously consider listening to Bluegrass. It's what country would be if country were good.w

Continental Divide is a good start:

Continental Divide

Try The Greencards, Weather and the Water

It's not bad, but I'm disagreeing with your opinion if this is the generic bluegrass band.
